THE SOUTHCLIFF HOTEL
The hotel has a long history, evolving from five townhouses built in 1861. It later became two hotels in the 1930s before being combined into a single 68-bedroom hotel in 1980. All bedrooms and public areas are non smoking. Where possible we use local produce from award winning local butchers to beautiful fresh veg.
